	<h2>About 4-H</h2>

	<h3>The 4-H Pledge, Mission, Vision, &amp; Motto</h3>

	<h3>The 4-H Pledge</h3>

	<p>"I Pledge...</p>
	<p>My Head to clearer thinking,</p>

	<p>My Heart to greater loyalty,</p>
	<p>My Hands to larger service,</p>
	<p>And my Health to better living,</p>
	<p>For my club, my community, my country, and my world."</p>

	<p>The pledge tells what 4-H is all about. 4-H has as its goal the
		four-fold development of youth: Head, Heart, Hands and Health. The
		pledge was adopted by the delegates to the 1927 National 4-H Club Camp
		in Washington, DC. State club leaders voted for and adopted the pledge
		for universal use. The phrase "and my world" was added in 1973. The
		saying of the pledge has prominent place in 4-H activities at regular
		4-H meetings, achievement days, and other club events.</p>


	<h3>4-H Mission</h3>

	<p>4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential, working and
		learning in partnership with caring adults.</p>


	<h3>4-H Vision</h3>

	<p>A world in which youth and adults learn, grow and work together
		as catalysts for positive change.</p>

	<h3>Motto:</h3>

	<p>"To Make The Best Better"</p>
	<p>The motto was adopted at about the same time as the 4-H Club
		Pledge. Its intent is to inspire young people to continue to learn and
		grow, to make their best efforts better through participating in
		educational experiences.</p>

	<p>"Learning By Doing"</p>
	<p>This phrase sums up the educational philosophy of the 4-H
		program. Young people learn best when they are involved in their
		learning.</p>
